Is anyone here familiar with the BMS Pathfinder 200cc motor scooter?

Are there any reviews of the BMS Pathfinder 200cc 16 inch wheels motor scooter? I was thinking of buying it from Country Motor Sports, or another internet source, but have just read terrible reviews of internet buying.

Do you have any advice about California-based internet sellers?

ANSWER: Jonathan, you can always use the search box on the top left of the navigation menu on every page to find specific things on this site. When I used it just now, it came up with this member of our online scooter club, who also owns a BMS Pathfinder:Bob Haggerty - Pathfinder Owner

You might post a comment on that page so Bob will see it and ask him what he thinks of it now. As far as buying on the Internet, many here have done it... with mixed results. Read my pages about buying online for some excellent tips on doing it successfully.

Take the Long Island Railroad out to Wyandanch and see Kathi at www,scootersonly.net

She sells the CF Moto line of scooters which are a much better brand than BMS. For what you'd pay for a scooter from the terribly unreliable Country Motorsports Kathi can put you on a CF Moto 150 E Charm. It has water cooling, fuel injection and 16" wheels and will last you a good long time. Plus you'll have a good dealer to take it to if you need service or work done. Kathi is near the Wyandanch station and buying from her is a much better idea. Seriously. Tell her Jimmy-kz1000st of Binghamton-from Scootdawg sent you.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Forget to proofread for glaring typos?

Omit punctuation?
